Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson took a swipe at the FA on Christmas Eve.
Fergie could not resist a dig at the FA after recent arguments with Soho Square over the way the hearing into the Patrice Evra affair was handled.
He said: "All the top brass from FIFA and everyone were in Tokyo - including a couple from the FA. They don't miss the trips, do they? All on the back of Manchester United, of course."
